EYT outstanding salary is in advance

Busy Thousands of EYT members, whose pension is delayed due to their application, will receive an advance instead of a pension. The right to the advance will arise if the pension is delayed 90 days, that is, 3 months. Starting in July, SGK will pay advances to hundreds of thousands of EYT members who were unable to complete their retirement paperwork over the next 3 months. EYT holders, whose monthly endorsement process cannot be completed until September, will be able to apply for an advance a second time in October. If the pensions cannot be paid in the next 3 months, this time an advance will be paid for the third time in January 2024.

NOT ALL IN APRIL

SGK officials estimate that about half of the 2.25 million EYT members who were eligible for retirement in the first place will apply for retirement, while the remaining half will continue to work. SGK sources reported that few of those who applied for retirement in March will receive a pension in April, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of EYT members will have to wait 9 months or even 12 months. Pursuant to Article 82 of the Current Insurance Operations Regulations, insureds who have submitted a retirement application and are entitled to receive a pension but whose pension cannot be paid within 90 days, have the right to submit an application for writing and request advance payment. The amount of the advance to be paid as a deduction for your future credits cannot exceed 3 net minimum wages for every 3 months, that is, 25 thousand 518 liras. However, since the lower limit has not been determined, SGK will be able to make an advance payment in very small amounts, such as one thousand, two thousand or 3 thousand lira, if desired. If the advance paid exceeds the accumulated pension, it will be deducted from the following pensions in 4 equal installments.

9-10 months missing

It has been reported that SGK, which has completed the works on time, has not had to pay advance payments, as there has been no such accumulation of demand exceeding millions so far, and therefore has not established a software system to make the advance. Stating that SGK will have to install a software system for advance payments, the sources said: “It was clear in the summer of last year that the EYT law would come out. From that day on, it was possible to increase and train the personnel to carry out the operations. Advanced software could be completed. They said that they waited in vain for 9-10 months.
